Come Sit On My Wall

By request per Brock. Damien got quite popular since he did some songs on the movie Closer. I'm not a fan of the whole album, just about five songs.

The lyrics I found say "story of O." The album's entitled "O" but I'm not sure that's what he says. I thought it was "old." I'm probably missing something, though.

Download mp3: Damien Rice - Amie.

Amie

Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there's no explosions here
Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me
Nothing unusual, nothing's changed
Just a little older that's all
You know when you've found it,
There's something I've learned
'Cause you feel it when they take it away

Something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
But I'm not a miracle
And you're not a saint
Just another soldier
On the road to nowhere

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

And Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

I have enjoyed this album for a few years now. And Amie loves this song as it spells her name right! It's definintely different, but unapologetically simple and honest. In my top 100 easily.

I've never heard Damien Rice before, but this is a great song. He's got a unique voice and delivery. I like it.

I know another Amie with the same spelling. Namlet, if you haven't noticed already, I've started posting a "song of the week."
He does have a unique voice and delivery. It's what I liked most.
